Description
Model History:
The “Evasion” bag was introduced by Louis Vuitton in the 1990s as a modern response to the needs of travelers. Smaller than a Keepall but more structured, it was designed for short stays, weekends or business trips. Its exterior pocket, originally designed to hold shoes or accessories, is now functionally compartmentalized. The Monogram, in use since 1896, asserts the company’s visual signature, while guaranteeing proven resistance.
Exterior Details:
Waterproof and resistant brown and gold Monogram canvas covers the entire bag. The corners are highlighted by natural leather piping, which has developed a honey patina characteristic of vintage Louis Vuitton pieces. The rigid leather handles are securely fastened with gold-plated brass riveted fasteners. The large zipped front pocket follows the shape of the bag and closes with a double zipper. The back and sides feature a beautifully symmetrical Monogram motif, a guarantee of quality in vintage production.
Interior details:
The interior is divided into two compartments: a main compartment in beige cotton canvas, spacious and uncompartmented, and a front pocket lined with chocolate canvas. There’s a small leather label stamped with the production code (VI0090), indicating French manufacture dated September 2000. Seams are clean, and internal finishing remains simple but solid, as usual with Louis Vuitton.
Product Condition:
The bag is in very good vintage condition. The Monogram canvas is clean and tear-free. The natural leather shows a visible patina with a few marks, notably on the handles and piping, evidence of regular use. The hardware retains its golden shine, despite a few micro-scratches from use. Zippers work perfectly. The interior is clean, with slight wear on the front pocket lining.
Care instructions:
We recommend keeping this bag away from moisture and direct light to preserve the patina of the natural leather. Regular care with a soft, dry cloth for the canvas, and a specific nourishing milk for the leather, will maintain its suppleness. Avoid aggressive cleaners that could alter the color of the leather or the coated fabric.
